ROCHET, JOHN 1991 Jasen Goldfirth Cakulis poastria BLM land along Cat Creek 1 mile E of Chuck Rock, adjacent to quarry section of Dinosaur National Monument, Uinta Co., Utah. Elevation 5060 ft. June 16 species known to have pelage on the nest. If the many Green Goldfirth (cont) Nests I have found, mostly as grain, New Mexico, none was noted to have other than one male & one female; though recently, at least some past years, have been "clumped" in distribution within Blackrock Bosque. The nest itself had an outside diameter of 10.5 x 9.0 cm; the nest cavity measurewd 4.5x 4.2 cm. The cavity was recessed about 2.8 or below the rim.
